“Ana does such a good job with our shy dog. She takes the time to try and get him to come around even getting on the floor to get him to trust her. She’s super dependable. She gave him all his meds and gave us continuous updates on a wound he was dealing with. She even watered our plants! Thank you!”
“We have a feisty old kitty who is very hard to medicate. Andee has been more successful with medicating her than any other pet sitter we have tried! We are very grateful for Andee’s excellent animal care skills.”
“Dustin is wonderful. I often need to make last minute plans. Dustin always quickly responds to out request to let us know his availability. Our dog, Hank, is aging and Dustin takes such good care of him. I never need to worry as Dustin is 100% reliable. I highly recommend Dustin as he is the best of the best”
“Farm is exceptional! She came to our apartment prior to the drop in visits to learn everything about the care we requested. After meeting her in person, going over logistics and etc., I was no longer overwhelmed (Yes, I am an overprotective cat parent). Over the four daily visits, she sent us many adorable and detailed pictures of our cats. She not only followed our instructions perfectly but also went and beyond in so many levels (i.e. She created a checklist to report us completed tasks & noticeable cats' behaviors). I never have to worry about my cats or house in her care. She raised the bar so high that I'm afraid I won't be satisfied with any other sitter in the future. We will definitely ask her back when when we travel again. Thank you for being reliable and accountable!”
“Holly has been a regular for our energetic mini-Aussie. She’s given an excellent description of their outings and willingly participated in some of the training we’ve been doing for Good Citizen Certification.”
About: I have three of my own pups and 2 cats, and if my husband would let me have more I would! We don’t deserve animals! They are literally the best thing! I hope I can love your animals as much as I love mine while you are away! My boys love new friends and would be so excited to meet your fur babies. I work full time, but only work 8 hour shifts with some remote days. If your pets do well with other pets and hanging out for a few hours alone, I’ve got you covered! I have an elderly boy (14), so I know all about meds and providing comfort! Message me for more scheduling details, I can sometimes move my schedule around to accommodate. I have a fenced yard, my animals are indoor mostly because of this sac heat. I have the ac and fans on always to make sure they are the most comfortable they can be!
“Taylor was so easy to work with! I live in an apartment that is a little difficult to navigate through and she had no issue with all the instructions had for her. My 12 week old pup could be a handful and she did great with him. Will definitely be booking again”
About: As a dog owner of 2, I value someone who will treat my dogs as their own. As a dog sitter, your dog would be in the best care and will receive all the love I give my own. I mostly work from home Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm so I am available anytime after 5pm during the weekday and anytime on the weekends. If needed, I can also be available for early morning during the weekday. I would like to sit only at clients homes so each pet will can feel the most comfortable. Also since I have 2 dogs at home, feel like it is the safest option to only be at clients home.
About: Hi! I’m Alice, a lifelong animal lover with over eight years of full-time experience caring for pets. I’ve looked after puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and often help with family and friends’ pets too. With me, your pets get the best care, attention, and love they deserve, tailored to their unique needs! As a full-time student, I’m available for pet care full-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with part-time availability on weekends and Tuesdays/Thursdays. I’m committed to providing dedicated care that fits both my schedule and your pet’s needs! I provide pet care exclusively in your home, where pets can stay in their own space and routines. Whether it’s regular feeding, playtime, administering medications, or maintaining a clean environment, I ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Their comfort and happiness are my top priorities!
“Absolutely an above and beyond sitter; she dog sat one of our pups that has behavioral health issues from prior abuse. I was worried all weekend how his care would be, but she handled this job with such ease. My dog liked her off the bat, which is a bit uncommon for him. She pet him, played with him, refilled his food and ensured water was there everyday. She even assisted in cleaning one plastic bottles that my dog got into when I was gone, she was so kind and respectful to the home. On top of her amazing work and compassion, she also gifted my doggie a bed, since he loves to destroy the many we buy him. Along with her kind gestures, she also provided pictures of my dog during her stay over with him. Overall she is an amazing sitter and I will love to have her again. I definitely look forward to booking her again for any future dog sitting.”
“Aicha was great with Brindle. This time our persisting was super last minute and she got back to us right away so we knew we could plan our time away. She sent us pics and just asked us if she had any questions....great sitter!”
About: As a dog mom to three (a husky, a shepherd mix, and a chihuahua), I understand that every dog has their own needs—whether they’re high-energy runners or slow-moving seniors. I’m active and love staying on the move, but I also know when to slow down. Reliable, flexible, and caring. My schedule is pretty flexible! I don’t have set work hours, so happy to fit in dog walks and visits throughout my day + weekend. I would be glad to follow whatever instructions/schedule your dog is on! You can count on me to treat your home—and your pet—with the same care I give my own.
About: Hi there! This is Polo (and my 2 year-old dog Ava) and I am very excited to get to know you and your pet. I love working with animals and attend to any needs your pets have. I grew up with dogs most of our lives as members of my and have experience with puppy raising and basic training. I have ample indoor space and a very large fenced backyard with grass for daily playtimes. If your dog is social, I am close to some amazing dog parks and am happy to take them too alongside regular walks throughout the neighborhood. M-F: 6-8am; 12:30~8pm Sa,Sun: anytime My window of availability for any type of scheduling or coordinating drop-offs or pick-ups particularly for boarding throughout the week are typically very early morning (6-8am) as well as most any time after 12:30pm. On weekends I am typically available throughout the day. We are happy to discuss specifics for any dates you may need. I have particularly great availability for any pet parents with swing shift work schedules who may need some flexibility with scheduling. I always oversee play to ensure it’s safe and mutual and use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage play for dogs who may lean anxious. My dog Ava is particularly social and playful so other social dogs tend to get a lot out of their stays with me; she is also very good at giving another dog space if they aren't as hyper or social so they can feel safe and enjoy their time as well. While your dog stays with me you can rest assured they will be physically engaged either through long play and train sessions, fun times at the local dog park, and/or nice long walks each day (weather permitting). Additionally, on longer boarding requests I make an intention of bringing your pup on a more special excursion- a beach, hiking trail, or otherwise special location they may not go to often otherwise. These tend to be fun not just for us but the dogs too and make for great photo opportunities as well if you are interested!
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs, and with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I’m deeply passionate about providing the best care. Growing up with terriers and cattle dogs, and now having 2 dogs of my own, I truly understand and appreciate the special bond between dogs and their owners. I offer personalized care by only accepting one dog at a time, ensuring that your dog and mine receive my full attention. ❤️ A bit about me: I’ve fostered dogs, participated in doggie day-out programs to help relieve stress for shelter dogs, and volunteered with a non-profit dog rescue. Your dog will feel right at home in a safe and comfortable environment here. 🐾 I’m committed to providing care that’s tailored to your dog’s individual needs, whether through enrichment activities or simply companionship. I’ll treat your dog like my own, ensuring they receive the highest level of love, care, and attention while you're away. Please feel free to share any behavioral concerns, dietary restrictions, feeding schedules, or routine preferences. Thank you! 🐶 I work full-time, so I am currently only available to offer boarding services on weekends. I am available for pet sitting in the evenings by request. 🐶🐾 I have a fenced backyard where the dogs can play and run freely. I have 2 dogs who enjoy the company of other dogs. The dogs will sleep and eat indoors, and they’re welcome on the furniture. I can also follow any specific routines you prefer.
“Nely is a rockstar! On two occasions, my other sitter backed out last minute and Nely was free to cover. She was generous with her time with our two cats, and from the pictures, they seemed to love her. Additionally, there was an issue with getting into our apaetment (not her fault) and she went above and beyond to try and make sure our cats were taken care of. I believe she stayed well over an hour to try and resolve the keypad lock issue, and even came back later in the day once the lock issue was resolved. She did all of this, even though I had only paid for half an hour each day! Much of this was my fault, and I found her to be very patient and prioritized taking care of our cats. I would highly recommend Nely to take care of your pets. =)”

“Dominique is amazing, she is awesome with my fur babies. My 2 standard poodles and kitty love her and when she comes over and they smother her with their wonderful wet kisses. They all fight for the place of honor on her lap. She is patient and loving and treats my babies like they are her own. I feel total safe when I know it’s Dominique coming over or walking my babies. My girls can tell the true spirit of a person the minute they meet that person and they have been in love with her ever since they met her. Like I said she is amazing, loving and caring and I would recommend her to any fur-baby parent - your precious babies are safe and alway loved with her - she is the next best thing to me lol 😁”

Alice H.
“We had an incredible experience with Alice as our house sitter. We left her with a full menagerie, including pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, and fish, and she handled it all with ease, responsibility, and warmth. From feeding and cleaning to ensuring each animal received personal attention, Alice went above and beyond in every aspect. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets clearly loved her, and it was wonderful to see each animal well-cared for and happy when we returned. The house was also left spotless! We highly recommend Alice to anyone needing a trustworthy, dependable sitter who truly loves animals.”

“Jill has been a great friend to both me and my dog Tucker over the years. She's jumped in to care for him whenever asked and provides him with endless exercise and mental stimulation. Her own dogs have provided great socialization for Tucker and I could not ask for a more reliable and safe person to trust my pup with. He comes home happy and exhausted!”

Glen Elder pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tessa was all we had hoped for to our 16 year old dog. He loved her from the start and she was intuitive and patient with him and his various older dog issues. She’s really easy to plan with and we hope she will help take care of him when we can’t for the rest of his life.
Firstly, Pedro was very quick with his response and confirmation of availability. I had to leave Sacramento due to a family issue and he confirmed the appointment even though I requested it at the last minute. He followed all the instructions I left written on my door. My dog eats a natural diet along with kibble, and he prepared everything as I asked. He took her to potty in the correct area and left everything clean.
We just moved back to the Sacramento area and were looking for someone to help us with our dog, sully. Aicha did a drop in for us and was very communicative and took great care of our boy. We immediately booked her for an upcoming week in October and will continue to work with her for our dog sitting needs in the future :)
